Nathan Fillion is an actor who portrayed Caleb and the First Evil in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series.
At the time Fillion appeared on Buffy in 2003, he had already portrayed Malcolm Reynolds in Firefly and would go on to reprise the role in the film Serenity. He also starred and sang in Joss Whedon's 2008 Internet musical Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog alongside Felicia Day.
In 2007, Fillion portrayed Dr. Adam Mayfair in Desperate Housewives. From 2009 to 2016, he played the title role on the ABC drama Castle. In 2015 and 2016, Fillion worked with Alan Tudyk on a web series called Con Man, loosely based on their experiences on the convention circuit after Firefly.
In 2017, Fillion was cast in the recurring role of Gary West on the Netflix horror-comedy series Santa Clarita Diet. In the same year, he was cast in the recurring role of Jacques Snicket on the second season of the Netflix comedy drama series A Series of Unfortunate Events.
In 2018, Fillion portrayed John Nolan in ABC's crime-comedy-drama series The Rookie. In 2021, he portrayed the metahuman The Detachable Kid or T.D.K. in The Suicide Squad.
Fillion originally auditioned for the role of Angel in 1996.
He special guest-starred as the evil priest Caleb in five episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 7, in one of them also portraying the First Evil in Caleb's form:
•"Dirty Girls"
•"Empty Places"
•"Touched"
•"End of Days"

- Captain Malcolm Reynolds - Firefly. The unforgettable lead role that made a lot of people fall in love with the man's work. Joss Whedon's criminally aborted series Firefly has only grown in stature and legend since its cancelation, and Nathan Fillion is infinitely critical to that reputation.
- Reynolds & Buck - The Halo Series. Fillion is no stranger to voice work and subsequently became a regular within the Halo Universe. After initially playing his Firefly namesake Captain Reynolds in Halo 3, he went on to play series regular and playable character Edward Buck in Halo: ODST, and Halo 5: Guardians, as well as voicing him elsewhere in the series.
- Nathan Drake - Uncharted Fan Film. For years people have been saying that Nathan Fillion shouldn't just voice video game characters. He is noted to bear a striking resemblance to this Playstation icon.
- Jacques Snicket - A Series Of Unfortunate Events. Deliciously rich is this portrayal of the series' narrator's brother. The recently ended Netflix show benefited from Nathan Fillion coming aboard in the second season.

- Eliza Dushku. After Eliza Dushku’s scene stealing performance as Faith on both Buffy and Angel, Whedon made an excellent choice casting her to star in Dollhouse.
- Jonathan M. Woodward. Of all three “hat tricks” on this list, Jonathan M. Woodward’s performances stand out as the most memorable. All three characters that he played appeared to be good guys (or at least okay guys), before revealing themselves to be dangerous.
- Summer Glau. Glau made her first Whedonverse appearance playing the Prima Ballerina in one of the best episodes in Angel’s 3 season, “Waiting in the Wings”.
- Amy Acker. According to Amy Acker, when the phone rings and she sees it’s Joss Whedon, she answers the phone with one word: "Yes." Acker has probably played a part in more of his projects than anyone else on this list (except for maybe Alexis Denisoff).
